[Sca-cooks] Everyone gone already?

	Do a Web search for Gateau du Roi or Galette du Roi. Coming into
this
	conversation late, I could be wrong, but it sounds like a 12th Night
	Cake custom, wherein whoever gets the plastic baby, bean, gold coin,
	button, etc., in their portion of cake, is elected the suc-- the
	lucky soul who gets to Do The Thing, such as being the Lord/Lady of
	Misrule. This is probably a Roman Saturnalia custom, originally.

Doesn't that go back to the ancient Celtic practice of sacrificing whatever
unlucky soul got the bean in their cake on whatever-holy-day-it-was? Now
there's a tradition of debatable merit...<evil grin>
